Game is an icon in gaming history

AshleeEmerson2442d ago

Anyone who plays this from beginning to end has to agree with you. It's an example of what real creativity looks like. I can't even imagine what an Astro bot 2 could possibly be like.

purple1012443d ago (Edited 2443d ago )

I might buy vr for this if there's a nice bundle at black Friday kinda' time.

This and creed and superhot and moss have bundles in us. Waiting for something in the UK that doesn't come with the obligatory VRworlds which I don't really want or rather would much prefer a couple of real games, over this basically supersized demo disc

Abnor_Mal2443d ago

Then you would miss out on the best game on the VR Worlds disc which is The London Heist. Especially if you have any intentions of pick up Blood and Truth the heist is a nice tasty appetizer. The ocean cage dive is also very nice to witness a few times. Do they even sell the VR Worlds disc by itself, and if so, would it not be cheap ass hell now?

generic-user-name2442d ago

Look out for the Firewall+Aim bundle too, Firewall is soooo good.

SkippyPaccino2443d ago

This is the sleeper hit of the year... Playstation comes at you from all angles that you truly have to convince yourself not to buy one. Great for gamers

Einhander19712443d ago

I can’t state enough how amazing this game is. Nintendo must be thinking now we need MARIO in VR i know I am:) but back to Astro Bot the scope for More sequels is huge new gadgets new worlds more epic boss fights.

5 Best PSVR Games That Need PSVR 2 Ports

Alongside big hitters like Horizon Call of the Mountain, Gran Turismo 7 and Resident Evil Village, PSVR 2 is already home to some of the best PSVR games and experiences, like Moss and Tetris Effect. Better yet, some ports like Job Simulator, Song in The Smoke and Pistol Whip offer free cross-generation upgrades if you bought them for the original PSVR.

There are many PSVR titles we’d love to see leap onto PlayStation VR2. Here's our pick.

ApocalypseShadow837d ago (Edited 837d ago )

True indeed. Great picks. I'd also like Raw Data remastered, LA Noire, Iron Man, Arch Angel, Mortal Blitz and many others. We'll see what gets ported over time.

SullysCigar837d ago

There are so many that would benefit from a PSVR2 facelift with all the bells and whistles.

To add to your list, I'd also like: Hitman 1-3, Xing: The Land Beyond, The Room: VR, Red Matter, Farpoint, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, The Persistence, To the Top, Until You Fall, Arashi: Castles of Sin, Sniper Elite VR, Fracked, Dreams - I'm sure there are loads I've forgotten!

IAMTHEVOID837d ago

To add a sixth game to that list I need on ps vr2 is Vader Immortal

Abnor_Mal837d ago

Did anyone ever play Robinson: The Journey?

Oh and to add to the list I’d definitely put Bravo Team up for porting to PS5. I don’t understand why that game got so much flak when the only problem was the camera zooming out from first to third person when you had to move locations.

Other ports I would like to see wake its way over at some point would be DWVR, Immortsl Legacy, The Mages Tale, Killing Floor Incursion. Never played although I know I own them Unearthing Mars1/2 and Budget Cuts. Doom and Skyrim VR I’m not holding my breath on but would be nice.

EverydayJoe835d ago

I did. Was a beautiful game for its time.

MIDGETonSTILTS17837d ago (Edited 837d ago )

I would just add SUPERHOT.

Great list otherwise.

I’d easily pay $10 for an upgrade for any of these games, or full price for a vr2 version if I don’t own it yet.

Idc if the games are brand new, just as long as they work for my new headset.

Please update and take my money, devs 💰

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition to be FREE starting April 19

Damn awesome. I doubt any other game company ever gave away so many games completely free.

CaptainHenry9161549d ago (Edited 1549d ago )

It sounds like Sony is also more serious about PS now. They're investing and working with this cloud base company. I'm waiting for them to add PS now to PS+. PSNow has over 800 games on there 🤔. Sony need to start marketing that

darthv721549d ago

Would that cloud based company be... Microsoft? https://www.engadget.com/20...

CaptainHenry9161549d ago (Edited 1549d ago )

They been working with Microsoft with Azure? What's your point? The Bloomberg article was just posted today. They're working with Ubitus as well

VenomUK1549d ago

Better than a punch in the face.

bouzebbal1549d ago

Moss is amazing.. But short

Drithe1549d ago

PS now should have always been a part of psplus

Babadook71549d ago

"Moss is amazing.. But short"

Have you played the DLC?

REZ, Astro, Moss.... count me in.

NecrumOddBoy1549d ago

Let me be the first to say, if you haven’t played The Witness... do NOT read or look up anything about it and just dive in. Absolutely the best open world puzzle game in ages; probably since Myst. It will really bend your mind. It’s buttery smooth on PS5. I am replaying it now (platinum’d’ it on PS4).

Don’t spoil anything for yourself and just let it take you for an experience.

oakshin1549d ago

Yea why not....I'll take your advice but I have one question how much puzzle variety does it have?

JangoMan1549d ago

Now u know how gamers with XboxGamePass feel when AAA titles appear in the list. Its great that Sony is doing it to. In the end its happy us! The Gamers

I played Zero Dawn Main story, this will be great time to play DLCs as well.

1549d ago
RazzerRedux1549d ago

Do Game Pass gamers know how that feels without paying anything? No, they don't.

chiefJohn1171549d ago (Edited 1549d ago )

They get a small taste, this like a drop of water compared to the tank of gamepass. HZD like the only aaa on that list and let's be real EVERY PS owner on this site already played and bought it.

Willelmus1549d ago

MS Gave away tons of games over the years. I doubt that if they ever did it Sony would do anything.

But they have been slacking lately because of Gamepass.

Terry_B1549d ago

Huh? When did they gave away games for free and which ones?

darthv721549d ago

^halo 5 was free, gears 5 was free (recently too) too human was free, phantom dust... and a few others I cant think of right now.

And yes those were totally free. You can prob find the articles about it on N4G.

Master of Unlocking1549d ago

Awesome, yes. Especially considering the fact that this time, I don't already own most of these games. Horizon Zero Dawn being the exception. It's gonna be long and tedious to finish the game again, as my save file of the NTSC-J version I have probably won't be compatible with the Pal version of the game that I'll be getting, but definitely worth it ultimately since I'll finally get to play the Frozen Wilds expansion!

S2Killinit1549d ago (Edited 1549d ago )

They are indeed. Moss and Astrobot (of course) blew me away.

Muzikguy1549d ago

I know I'll be getting The Witness. Not sure about any others

Imortus_san1549d ago

Free for those that dont pay PS Plus?

First R&C and now Horizon?Sony arent dumb they know what theyre doing.Give people a taste and hook them in to get them warmed up for the sequel.

LucasRuinedChildhood1549d ago

With all the extra people playing Horizon, it would be great if this made it easier for them to justify a 60fps patch as well

Amazing gesture from Sony. Litrelly just bought astro vr a few days ago and have yet to play but I can't complain so many games there I don't own.

LucasRuinedChildhood1549d ago

As long as you didn't download it, you can request a refund

ocelot071549d ago

I bought a bundle code on eBay that included Skyrim and astrobit,doom,wipeout and another game.

monkey6021549d ago

I bought Enter the Gungeon recently but hadn't even downloaded it. Had never trued to get a refund for something before so chanced it last night. Sony rejected it on the basis that I bought it 15 days ago and the window for refunds is 14 ha feckers

LucasRuinedChildhood1549d ago

@monkey602

That sucks man. Something similar happened with me for Control Ultimate Edition. Well hey, you win some, you lose some.

The only reason that I didn't mention the 2 week rule to ocelot07 is because he only bought astro vr a few days ago.

Phoenix761549d ago

Astrobot rescue mission is absolutely fantastic with VR. Wipe out is good, moss looked stunning and skyrim......... Well....... Less said about VR version the better really. Bad blurry visuals. But I haven't tried it yet on the ps5, so may have an improvement.

RazzerRedux1549d ago

"But there’s more to come later this spring. Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition will be available for free download between April 19 8:00pm Pacific Time and May 14 8:00pm Pacific Time."

Awesome game. Can't wait for the sequel.

PSVR platformer is top-notch.

It isn't just one of the best VR platformers, it's easily one of the best platformers, but it really does showcase how VR can be used to enhance a platformer beyond what could ever be done on a flat screen. The way the level takes place on all sides, around and above you, the way you can interact with the world around you (not just Astro, but you yourself), the way they utilize the features of the controller... nothing else comes close.
